| Mt. Hood reflected in the calm water of Lost Lake, Oregon. |
Spent 4th of July at what I think is one of the most beautiful places God created, Lost Lake, Oregon. This pristine lake on the Eastern side of Mt. Hood has remained vastly the same way the early pioneers traveling the Oregon Trail first saw it. Surrounded by protected forest land, there is very little in the way of civilization to destroy nature's view. And since no motor powered craft are allowed on the lake...it's quiet, calm, and peaceful.
We spent the day picnicing, hiking, and relaxing. We rented a rowboat for a few hours and rowed out to the middle of lake and then just floated for awhile in the shadow of that glorious volcano. We watched bald eagles fly over head and had a falcon fly above us, then tuck his wings and divebomb the water, coming up with a fish in his beak. This is a place that feeds the soul.

| Ok, Peanut was so cute enjoying the view, I had to include another photo. |

| This adorable girl was at the picnic site next to ours...she played in the lake for hours, only leaving the ice cold water when it was time for lunch. |
